| Appears in | Donkey Kong Bananza (2025) |
Fossils appear as a type of collectible in Donkey Kong Bananza. They can be found throughout each layer and can be exchanged for fashion items at Style Shops. Each layer contains its own unique fossils, of varying amounts each. Treasure chests buried underground can contain Fossil Maps, which show the locations of fossils in a specific layer.
List of fossils[edit]
| Name/image | Description | Total amount | Layer found |
|---|---|---|---|
 Ammonite |
This ancient sea organism was related to squids and octopuses...though it took after the squid side of the family more. | 61 | Lagoon Layer |
 Anomalocaris |
It looks large, but nothing whose name means "odd shrimp" could have been that big of a deal. | 10 | Lagoon Layer |
 Whale |
It had humanlike intelligence and could even feel anxious...but what did this 200-ton creature have to worry about? | 1 | Lagoon Layer |
 Ammonite (alt color) |
Through cycles of evolution and extinction, it gave rise to over 10,000 species. So what did you do today? | 30 | Hilltop Layer |
 Leaf |
A planty appendage that dates back to the dawn of life. Not bad for a simple leaf, eh? | 61 | Canyon Layer |
 Trilobite |
So named because of the three distinct lobes of its exoskeleton. At least it sounds cool... | 10 | Canyon Layer |
 Triceratops |
Its name means "face with three horns," which seems rudely dismissive of this dino diva's fashionable frill. | 1 | Canyon Layer |
 Sea Lily |
A relative of the starfish that captured prey in its petallike arms. | 61 | Freezer Layer |
 Preserved Bug |
Natural resin that solidified into a jewel after trapping an insect. Having a few of these puts some zing into a collection. | 10 | Freezer Layer |
 T. Rex |
This famous dino had an impressive physique, especially for a distant relative of chickens. | 1 | Freezer Layer |
 Beaver |
This gnawty, buck-toothed critter lived in all sorts of places, from jungles to ancient ruins. | 61 | Forest Layer |
 Pig |
It's unclear why this polite porker lived in the jungle, but he always had the chops to help a Kong in need. | 10 | Forest Layer |
 Spider |
The webs this squittish spider were sturdy enough to stand on... for a while. | 1 | Forest Layer |
 Leaf (alt color) |
A single leaf can tell us a lot about its environment long ago. However, they often decayed too quickly to become fossils. | 30 | Resort Layer |
 Frog |
Identifiable by its red-on-green mottled skin. It could leap startling distances in the wink of an eye, even with a passenger. | 61 | Tempest Layer |
 Anglerfish |
It glimmered and illuminated dark waters with its bright lantern. It's said to have lived mostly within sunken ships. | 10 | Tempest Layer |
 Swordfish |
In water, one had to stay on their guard around this fish's notably sharp nose. On land, it would struggle and flop around. | 1 | Tempest Layer |
 Sea Lily (alt color) |
It drifted through the ocean in search of its next home. There are many colors of sea lily in the world, all of them elegant. | 30 | Landfill Layer |
 Banana Bird |
Small birds that had the coloration (and possibly texture) of a banana. They were trapped in crystals long ago. | 61 | Radiance Layer |
 Armadillo |
These critters rolled into balls to defend their turf. Some of them with military training simply carried cannons instead. | 10 | Radiance Layer |
 Sea Urchin |
Covered with spikes on the outside yet tasty on the inside, it often fell prey to swordfish while lurching and vulnerable. | 1 | Radiance Layer |
 Beaver (alt color) |
There used to be red, gold, and enormous variations. If angered while tottering, it was capable of making huge leaps. | 30 | Groove Layer |
 Old Tire |
You could roll these rubber rings around and jump off them to reach high spots... or just bounce on them for fun. | 61 | Feast Layer |
 Cathode-Ray Tube |
An old-style television that was sure to catch the eye. If it didn't turn on at first, the best way to repair it was a good slap. | 10 | Feast Layer |
 Robot |
A chaotic robot that spoke and acted independently. Created by a maverick scientist...using his wife's pots and pans. | 1 | Feast Layer |
 Frog (alt color) |
Unlike most frogs, this one abandoned the comfort of its native ponds for the dank dangers of a life in the mines. | 30 | Forbidden Layer |
 8-Bit Barrel |
A constant in the life of Kongs. Every new generation learns how to roll, throw, and blast themselves out of these. | 31 | Planet Core |
 8-Bit Items |
A fancy hat, purse, and parasol from days gone by. They may have been left behind by an elegant lady. | 10 | Planet Core |
 8-Bit DK |
A certain Kong in the prime of his youth. His amazing skill at handling barrels has been passed down to his descendants. | 1 | Planet Core |
